  • Do you know what I mean?…

    Great guests and very funny, but how many times can one man say “do you know what I mean?” during a show. Yes, we the audience, and the guests, know what you mean!

  • Spare a thought

    Great show, bit concerned about the girl in Spencer Matthew’s Gaddafi chat. Not a lot of concern on the real target of that story!

  • Only into ep 5 but…

    So, seeing a podcast proposed for you where one episode is longer than 30min, you might approach it with some doubts.

    I can tell you, fear not.

    The host and the guests will keep you entertained and engaged all that time and you might learn something about life as you listen.

  • My only gripe…

    Russell Howard is a brilliant conversationalist who really engages with his guests.

    However, for a show that’s otherwise impeccably produced with beautiful sound quality, I would pay even more on Patreon not to hear every time someone takes a drink of water…
